Pancakes and stuffed french toast are typically our go-to dishes when guests are coming over for an early-morning meal. This past weekend we changed things up a bit and added a new dish to our repertoire, and I think it might make some pretty frequent appearances in our kitchen.

Baked Eggs with Crispy Shallots by somethingwewhippedup.com

We paired baked eggs with kale, crispy shallots and fresh parmesan. They came together quickly and when paired with some home fries turned into a very satisfying and filling meal. The recipe below is for just one serving, but you can double it, triple it or more to meet your needs. We made three for our brunch. Rise and dine!

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Heat a small pan over medium-low. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and let melt. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes or until caramelized. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

2. Add the kale to the warm pan, and sauté over medium for 2 minutes or until wilted; remove from heat and set aside.

3. Meanwhile, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to a ramekin and top with the heavy cream. Place ramekin in a baking dish, transfer to oven and heat until butter is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

4. Remove dish from oven and add kale to ramekin. Crack an egg over the top, add the crispy shallots and top with the parmesan and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Fill the baking dish with warm water until it comes half way up the side of the ramekin. Return dish to oven and cook for 13 to 15 minutes or until egg whites are set. Remove from oven and top with flavored salt if desired. Serve immediately with toast for dipping if desired.

SWWU Tip 1: Looks can be deceiving with this dish. If you want a runny yolk, check the egg at 13 minutes. The eggs will continue cooking in the warm ramekin, so err on the side of caution.
